money????

[meetmrnewb]

ok how does everyone get money for paint and upgrades(dont just say work cause im only 13)

me i mow lawns every sat. and make 20$ per week

i use 40$ on paint and the rest on saving for upgrades/CO2

[Dr. Isotope]

Ummm... work? :laugh: I started playing before you were born, so work seems to be the best option at my advanced age. :crazy:

[meetmrnewb]

lol i guess i should put for people under 16?

[Ryan314]

How could you forget to put work as an option :eyes:

[firekow]

work

just do stuff for your parents, wherever they work.

[meetmrnewb]

ryan i dont know i guess just use other

firekow: i dont need more ways that incomes god enuff for PB for me and i was just asking other people how they do

[firekow]

yeah, that's how I get mine.

[MVpBaller]

mow lawns, ref soccer, allowence, shovel driveways in the winter, work at my dads office sometimes.

[Kyle's Ghost]

i guess i'll be independent and tell the truth
my parents
i usually pay 50% for the gun i want...they pay the rest
i usually pay $20 for a case of paint and they pay the rest
i usually pay $0 for air and they pay the rest
i usually pay 95% for upgrades and they pay the rest
i usually pay for 100% of apparal and equip and they pay $0
i usually pay for 50% for a tank and they pay the rest

(how i get the money for my part of the deal-I have no clue)

[Azn_gansta]

Shorten ur god damn sig.
Work

[Thermus]

I babysit, I sell stuff on ebay for people and take 10%, I sell my old stuff.


My parents dontpay for ANYTHING.

[THE_SEAL]

I am lucky. My dad has a buissness in our home so i can work for him whenever i want. 2 summers ago i worked and got 500 bucks and bought a goped. Paintball came and for christmas i got a syder. Its taken me forever to find someone to buy the goped (i was lazy). I sold it 3 days ago and i am ordering a 03 cocker and other stuff. So i worked to get some money and i sold my goped for the rest. I am gonna be set. :D

[MINDofSIN]

I have a part time job and I ref at the local field.

[Sam#27]

I make 25 a week on lawns, 30 a month for allowence and 5 dollars and hour for working at a pool.

that seems fair i guess

i just convinced my parents to laon me 200$(i have to pay all of it back tho)

to get a spyder electra DX and electric hopper

my mom thinks PB is dangerous "she says even wearing a mask you can die from getting the paint in ur mouth" WTF is up w/ that i showed her the non toxic sign on the side of the PB's

[Micewheelz72]

Get a job. Its not hard, even at 13.

[iTz NyaGo]

gettin an actual job is rather hard. i usually just ref for my field and get 20% discounts on all the gear/paintballs, free admission, free air. they also hire as long as your above 14 pretty much. most jobs wont accept people under 15 though. ask around, you might get lucky.

[meetmrnewb]

micewheelez: how can i get a job

i mow lawns & dont have ne more ideas

it was a poll but if u got ideas on how people who are young can get jobs post em!

thanks

[something nasty]

$25 a week mowing, $25 a week allowance, ~$30 a week from working for my dad (mostly odd jobs dealing with computers). I'm on a sponsored team too, but I'm a back player so I still use 2 cases every time I play ($30 a case for practice paint, $50 for tourney paint)

[Tigre_Tiburon]

Man you guys are spoiled.

I get 5$ a week for doing my chores, which I am forced to do.

These include:

Washing the dishes every night
Taking out the trash (we have a very LONG driveway)
Mowing the lawn
Filling up the yard wast bin
Picking up after the dog
and other one time things

(how i get the money for my part of the deal-I have no clue) you spoiled little weiner. i hope all your crap gets stolen.

[something nasty]

Don't say that. You know you're just jealous.... I wish I had a deal like that with my parents.

[Thermus]

Whoever complains about getting only 5 bucks a week: My parents make me do that stuff and I don't get ANY allowence. I am a certified lifeguard, but I couldn't get a full time job this year because I am too young, but next year I should make about 3000+ bucks next year if I work every day. I am a cautios spender though, I probably won't buy much paintball stuff next year. I have to save money for college.

no really?

i mean where can i get one

the local PB field is so overpriced even if i could get a job reffing it wouldnt help cause the discount wouldnt be enuff

i might be able to ref soccer but i have to check on that

god i hate my friends

ones getting an A-5 RT for gettings A & B's on the interim(sp?) while anothers gettin a Spyder Electra DX for the smae reason

i have to earn another 285$ of mowing lawns so i can buy my electra :)

EDIT:

mowing lawns seems to be very popular

well at least i know im not alone

[firekow]

Another thing you can do if you have broadband internet is download games off sites such as suprnova.org and downloadparadise.tk, burn them, and sell them. It's only illegal if you make a profit, which you will be. so yeah, use at your own discretion.

For more info concerning this crap, pm me or email me or something.

Another plus for this is that you get free games. I haven't paid for software all year, and I've lost count. I do know I used 50 blank CDs.

HEY he bought that "crap" from ME and my shop!Guess what...it ain't crap. :mad:

May the fleas of a million camels infest your crotch hairs.....
...when you're old enough to have some....
and may the cocker gnomes and fairies find their way to your markers.:laugh:

Also if you're going to insult someone...could ya' at least spell it right? "I" before "E" except after "C"....come on everyone, sing along. It's w-i-e-n-e-r.

His folks give him stuff hand over fist...what's he supposed to do? Say "no that's ok...just keep your cash Dad don't buy me that...I haven't worked hard enough yet for that." YA' RIGHT!....would YOU say no? Didn't think so. :rolleyes:

[cocker kid 2k2]

I work at my local field. It puts money in my pocket. Before I worked at the field, I worked around the house doing a lot of extra little things to make some extra cash. I actually made about 2-300 from april to june doing stuff like that so it helped.

[pEnNyWiSdOm225]

I have a Job

i made almost 2,000 this summer

[pb_fool]

How do I make money? The old fashioned way. By sealcoating parking lots, patching asphalt and laying asphalt.

I sweat, sware, and work. It is good work with decent pay.

[asa4575]

i baby sat for my 2 brothers and 1 sister and made 250 for my a5, then when we went to pennsylvania for vacation this year and i made an extra 150 for cleaning, destroying sheetrock, fixing things and other stuff for my aunts basement. baby sitting was a breeze:D :cool:

[dropkickmurphys]

save my lunch money

[meetmrnewb]

well i might ref soccer cause it's got decent pay even for a 13 yr. old

it's about 15$ for 45 or so miniutes.

and soccer is life(until my new marker then paintball) so i guess it works

[thepeashooter]

I sell my body for drugs, which i then sell the drugs too buy beer, which i then drink and forget that i was supposed to go paintballing

[Canadia_PBaller]

Lets see....I work, mow lawns, allowance, ummm....squgee peoples windows...ok not that but anyway next summer I'm gettin a job and makin the big bucks. (SO I can get the Ultimate Impulse) but I live in Canada so everything is so damn expensive here :(

rotfl thats funy but dang i need 600$ so i can get my Halo B hopper a PSI tank(not sure about how many) and a new marker

[shoc]{erboy12]

I am 14 and i make about 90 dollars a month cutting grass for a local business . i have been saving gradually for the last 3 months for an impulse but it is takin forever.

[paintballer42o]

10 bux a month for allowance.
10 bux an hour for working for my dad(usually 2 hours, 3 times a month passing out flyers...ezzy money!)
7 bux an hour working for my mom(fileling, more ezzy money)

[firekow]

most tedious job = Organizing a gynaecologist's charts
(As in taking out all the papers in the folders, and organizing them chronologically) It might be boring as hell, but I make $8.50 CDN an hour with it. Decent pay IMO.

[Sniper15]

i mow neighbors laws and do odd jobs around neighbors houses, like weeding and planting flower beds, trimming hedges, chainsawing, etc. i'm hoping to get a job at subway or some place like that next summer.

[expresstruck78]

mowing lawns has to be the best i am 17 and have started making money mowing lawns when i was 15 and since then i have been able to buy a nice commercial mower and a good truck with a plow so i also get my money plowing roads for the city and for neighbors then i also work at a fast food joint
